Chapter 131 Gandalf Might Have Died

In fact, when William the Patriarch, had just finished his first sentence, everyone had begun to guess the purpose of the gathering today.

The purpose was nothing but the following:

First, to send experts to the East to investigate the situation there.

Second, they had to strengthen their defenses on the way to the East so as to guard against sneak attacks from the East.

Next, they had to change the total layout of the people in the northernmost. Many experts might have to be stationed at the eastern defense line.

After all, a hundred years ago, the East was filled with talents and experts. Let alone the Great Sage level experts, there were no less than 30 of them.

Now that a hundred years had passed, even if they had stopped cultivating, there should still be this number of experts.

After all, everyone on the mainland knew that once one became a Great Sage-level expert, his lifespan would be extended, and it would not be a problem for him to live for a few thousand years.

Summarizing the thoughts above, almost everyone were thinking along the line.

However, just as everyone was proposing plans to deal with the enemies of the East, they heard William the Patriarch say the second sentence.

“This new emperor of the East, I detected a few days ago… his strength seems to be only at the Great Sage’s first rank…”

Huh?

What?

What?

What?

Did I hear correctly?

Stunned.

Shocked.

Dumbfounded.

Even…

Unbelievable!

The new emperor of the East was only at the Great Sage’s first rank?

What joke was this?

Had Gandalf gone mad…

That he had passed the position of the Eastern Emperor to such a weak fellow?

The first rank of the Great Sage…

This…

It wasn’t that we, the Northdark envoys, looked down upon him.

At this level, of the 128 Northdark envoys seated in the main hall, there were no less than 25 of them were experts of this level.

“Patriarch, you can’t be joking, right? The Mighty Eastern Emperor is only a first rank of the Great Sage… How could the experts of High Magus rank in the East agree to this?”

Someone voiced out the doubts in his heart.

If Lin Lei were here, he would definitely grab this person with a stupefied look on his face and question him: What High Magus?

What was the level of a High Magus?

Tell me clearly.

That’s right. Due to the loss of the mageforce in the East, there were no more High Magus in the entire easternmost region.

But in the northernmost region, there were still quite a few.

At this moment, the northern Emperor William VII sitting on the high platform was a sixth rank High Magus.

High Magus, simply put, it was an expert of the next level after the Great Sage.

They were also divided into nine ranks.

And the rank of High Magus was the highest known existence in the entire magic mainland.

As for what the next realm of High Magus was…

No one knew yet.

The only one who had cultivated to the ninth rank of High Magus, Gandalf, had never revealed any relevant information.

Everyone only knew that since Gandalf had advanced to the ninth rank of High Magus, he had changed from his usual lively and quick-witted personality to depression and he was even prone to violence.

Five hundred years ago, he had challenged the Northern and Southern Emperor for no reason and provoked an extremely tragic war on the magic mainland.

…

Coming back to the question asked by the Northdark emissary, William the Patriarch slowly explained.

“This, is also the reason why I’m most curious, that is…”

“I discovered that the entire easternmost region doesn’t seem to have the aura of High Magus…”

“Impossible!”

Just as William the Patriarch was halfway through his sentence, someone couldn’t help but retort.

“The previous Eastern Emperor Gandalf was one of the 10 Great Shadow Guards. The top five were all High Magus experts.”

“High Magus can live for more than 1000 years. It has only been a few hundred years since the great war 500 years ago. How could they have passed away?”

This Northdark emissary said agitatedly.

It wasn’t his fault for being so agitated.

It was true. Many years ago, Gandalf and his 10 Great Shadow Guards were too famous in the entire mainland.

They had almost become synonymous with invincibility.

This Northdark emissary was only a small mage back then. He had the fortune to witness the strength of the 10 Great Shadow Guards.

From then on, he had regarded the Shadow Guards as his lifelong idol.

Even if they belonged to different camps, even if he was loyal to the Northern Emperor and they were loyal to the Eastern Emperor, he would not be able to shake the slightest bit of his admiration for them.

It was also because of this that this Northdark emissary was so anxious to refute the Patriarch William’s words.

The Patriarch William did not blame this subordinate for being rude. He only waited for the other party to finish speaking before slowly telling him another news.

“Gandalf and his 10 Great Shadow Guards… are indeed High Magus level experts, but… I couldn’t find their aura. They might…”

“They might have already died…”

“Boom!”

As soon as the Patriarch William finished speaking, everyone in the hall instantly exploded!
